Really??? As someone who insists on evidence from others you can impute opinion and intention from body language?
Isn’t it possible that as the government’s top legal adviser he was simply embarrassed at getting things wrong?

It's my opinion, based on many years of interviewing people. I don't think he is a natural actor and wears his heart on his sleeve. He wasn't embarrassed at getting things wrong as he seemed to have given his advice sincerely and that's all he could have done. I think he was embarrassed at having to defend a government strategy he doesn't really believe in.

So what was Johnson 'guilty ' of then.
Proroging parliament is a right beheld of the acting PM.

You know the answer to that! The whole country does by now.

The prorogation was found to be unlawful and declared null and void.

Prorogation is indeed the right of the PM but has now been declared only to be lawful if it is of an appropriate length for it's intended purpose.

Not at all. I do though know how to find things out and understand them when I do.

Do you understand how shabby and transparent the Remainer tactics looked in Parliament today?

Has there ever been a more disingenuous bunch?

Most barristers are pretty good actors and, let’s say, at selectively defining the truth.
The point remains that however his intentions are interpreted Johnson took the advice of the governments chief legal adviser.

We'll be fighting in the streets
With our children at our feet
And the morals that they worship will be gone
And the men who spurred us on
Sit in judgement of all wrong
They decide and the shotgun sings the song

I'll tip my hat to the new constitution
Take a bow for the new revolution
Smile and grin at the change all around
Pick up my guitar and play
Just like yesterday
Then I'll get on my knees and pray
We don't get fooled again

Tonight has been fascinating. I sensed that Remainers had the scent of blood in the water and anticipated a feeding frenzy. And instead, finding themselves the ones in panic mode as their prey turned it around and went for their jugulars. This Brexit s*** is fascinating and Johnsons performance had a quality to it that even impressed me and I ain't his biggest fan. I sensed a man finding a liberation in having almost nothing now to lose apart from it all. All bridges burnt, all boats holed and nowhere else to go other than staking it all on one last throw of the dice.

And the best ace card of all in this situation, which can be played time and time again, trumping anything those opposing can throw. Don't like me then fine. Let's have an election. And they have no answer to that.

For all their bluster and bulls*** Remain have been shown to be bottle jobs. Their arseholes went tonight.

Fair play to both Johnson and Cox. They tore into those opposed to them who were shown up as being utterly impotent.

Remain needs some political viagra. All the talk but simply to s*** scared to even start the walk. LOL.

You must have been watching a different Parliament to me. I didn't hear anyone discuss remaining, other than Johnson and his Tory colleagues, who were attempting to shift the debate away from the unlawful prorogation.

By far the majority of MPs, despite their personal preference, are committed to trying to find a way to allow the UK to leave the EU. What they aren't prepared to accept is an exit which they believe will cause harm that can be avoided.

I thought Johnson's performance, whilst predictable and predicted by me, was truly awful. Rude, disrespectful, arrogant and completely unapologetic. Trying to divide Parliament from the people through populist tactics copied from Trump is a shameful way for a British PM to behave.

And the BBC have a headline...."Opposition fury as defiant Boris demands an election."

LOL. Perhaps somebody should sit Corbyn down and explain that the Opposition should actually be the ones demanding an election. Spineless w***ers.

Johnson won't be going to prison but his policy has been found unlawful and his lack of an affidavit criticised. It was the latter which was his biggest mistake.
